When trying to setup HydroQuebec sensor for the first time I received an “Error while setting up platform hydroquebec”. After reading the log I fount the following error:
File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pyhydroquebec/client.py", line 185, in _get_balances
balances.append(float(balance[:-2].replace(",", ".")))
ValueError: could not convert string to float: '-1\xa0627.47'
Balance: -1 627.47 (Yeah this is very unusual)
I suspect it is relate to my account been in credit (negative balance) or the space separation for the thousand. Before I submit a bug I would like to confirm with the community if isn’t something else since I’m new to HA . Any comment? Thanks.
